Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of refractive surgery parameter optimization, and in particular to a femtosecond laser refractive surgery parameter optimization method, device, medium and product. Background Art

[0002] Femtosecond laser refractive lens extraction is a laser corneal refractive surgery that uses a femtosecond laser to make a lens on the cornea. Removing the lens can change the corneal curvature, thereby correcting refractive errors such as myopia and astigmatism. There is a large demand for myopia correction in my country, and this refractive surgery method is in great demand. The design of surgical parameters requires doctors to comprehensively consider the thickness of the human cornea, pupil diameter, refractive power, etc. to design personalized surgical parameters. Unreasonable surgical parameter design may cause postoperative visual quality problems and complications such as postoperative corneal dilatation. For example, if the patient's pupil diameter is large but the diameter of the optical zone designed for surgery is too small, it may cause visual symptoms such as night glare after surgery; if the patient has a high degree but the corneal thickness is thin, if a larger optical zone diameter is used, it may cause a decrease in postoperative biomechanical properties, and then there is a risk of postoperative corneal dilatation. Therefore, the reasonable optimization design of surgical parameters is crucial to ensure postoperative visual quality and postoperative safety. Comprehensive consideration of various parameters and optimization and adjustment require doctors to have sufficient experience and a certain learning curve. Summary of the invention

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying creative work.

[0032] Figure 1 A flowchart of a femtosecond laser refractive surgery parameter optimization method provided in one embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0035] The present application provides a femtosecond laser refractive surgery parameter optimization method, which automatically considers various parameters of the human eye for personalized parameter adjustment. The femtosecond laser refractive surgery equipment can use this method to automatically perform personalized parameter design on surgical parameters, saving doctors’ surgical design time, shortening the learning curve for doctors to optimize refractive surgery parameters, improving the accuracy of parameter optimization, and improving the work efficiency of doctors in refractive surgery parameter design.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a femtosecond laser refractive surgery parameter optimization method is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0037] S1: Get the patient's pupil diameter.

[0038] S2: Determine whether the pupil diameter is greater than a pupil diameter setting value, and obtain a first determination result.

[0039] S3: If the first judgment result is yes, the optical zone is adjusted according to the expected corneal ablation thickness and the residual stromal bed thickness. The optical zone diameter is less than or equal to the optical zone set diameter. In this embodiment, the optical zone set diameter is 7 mm.

[0040] As an optional embodiment, the optical zone is adjusted according to the expected corneal ablation thickness and the residual stromal bed thickness, specifically including:

[0041] Increase the optical area.

[0042] The corneal expected ablation thickness and the residual stromal bed thickness are determined according to the current optical zone diameter. The corneal expected ablation thickness is determined according to the optical zone diameter and the diopter; the residual stromal bed thickness is determined according to the corneal central thickness, the corneal expected ablation thickness and the corneal cap.

[0043] It is determined whether the residual stromal bed thickness is less than a set thickness or whether the ratio of the estimated corneal ablation thickness to the central corneal thickness is greater than a set ratio, to obtain a second determination result; the set thickness is 280 μm.

[0044] If the second judgment result is yes, the current optical zone diameter is reduced by a preset adjustment amount (in this embodiment, the preset adjustment amount is 0.1 mm), and the program returns to "determine the expected corneal ablation thickness and the residual stromal bed thickness based on the current optical zone diameter".

[0045] In actual application, when the pupil diameter is larger than the pupil diameter setting value (the pupil diameter setting value is determined according to the pupil diameter measurement method. Because the normal distribution of pupil diameter measured by different measuring equipment under different test environment background illumination intensities is different, the user can set it independently here according to the actual situation), the optical zone is adjusted to increase by the preset adjustment amount of 0.1mm in sequence, and the corneal estimated ablation thickness and residual stromal bed thickness are calculated to determine the residual stromal thickness (RST) at this time. When RST is less than 280μm or PTA (the ratio of corneal estimated ablation thickness to corneal central thickness before ablation) is greater than 28%, the optical zone is stopped from being increased, and the optical zone is adjusted down by 0.1mm until PTA is less than 28% or RST is greater than 280μm. The maximum allowable range of the optical zone is recommended to be less than 7.00mm, which can also be set by the doctor.

[0046] S4: If the first judgment result is no, adjusting the optical zone according to the expected corneal ablation thickness.

[0047] As an optional implementation, the optical zone is adjusted according to the expected corneal ablation thickness, specifically including:

[0048] Determine whether the estimated corneal cutting thickness is greater than the maximum allowable corneal cutting thickness; the estimated corneal cutting thickness is determined based on the optical zone diameter and the diopter; the maximum allowable corneal cutting thickness = corneal central thickness × set ratio, in this application, the set ratio is 0.28. The diopter only takes pure spherical power as an example. If the cylindrical power is included, the calculation method is similar. The calculation of the estimated corneal cutting thickness may be different depending on the surgical equipment.

[0049] If so, the current optical zone diameter is reduced by a preset adjustment amount, and the process returns to "determining whether the estimated corneal cutting thickness is greater than the maximum allowable corneal cutting thickness".

[0050] If not, the current optical zone diameter is not adjusted.

[0051] In actual application, the diameter of the optical zone is gradually increased until the expected corneal ablation thickness is greater than the maximum allowable corneal ablation thickness, at which time the diameter of the optical zone is reduced by 0.1 mm.

[0052] It is determined whether the estimated corneal cutting thickness is less than the recommended cutting thickness value to obtain a third determination result.

[0053] If the third judgment result is yes, the current optical zone diameter is increased by a preset adjustment amount, and it is determined whether the current optical zone diameter is equal to the optical zone set diameter to obtain a fourth judgment result.

[0054] If the fourth judgment result is yes, the lens base is increased by a set value, and the process returns to "determine whether the corneal estimated cutting thickness is less than the cutting thickness recommended value"; if the fourth judgment result is no, the process returns directly to "determine whether the corneal estimated cutting thickness is less than the cutting thickness recommended value". The set value is 5 microns.

[0055] If the third judgment result is no, the current optical zone diameter is not adjusted.

[0056] In actual application, when the expected corneal cutting thickness is less than the recommended cutting thickness of 50μm (the recommended value is for reference only and can be set by the doctor in practice), the optical zone will be increased by 0.1mm in sequence, with a maximum of no more than 7.00mm, and the lens base will be increased by 5 microns in sequence until the expected corneal cutting thickness is greater than the recommended cutting thickness of 50 microns.

[0057] The pupil diameter of patient 1 to be operated on is relatively large, at 7.5mm, which is considered to exceed the pupil diameter setting value set by the doctor. The central thickness of the cornea is 550μm, and the refractive power is -6.00D (i.e. myopia of 600 degrees). The conventional setting of the optical zone diameter is 6.5mm, and the estimated corneal cutting thickness is 108μm. Since the patient has a relatively large pupil diameter, the optical zone is automatically enlarged by 0.1mm, PTA=108 / 550=19.6%. If PTA is less than 28%, the optical zone will continue to be enlarged to the maximum value of the optical zone, such as 7.00mm.

[0058] The pupil diameter of patient 2 to be operated on is relatively large, at 7.5mm, which is considered to exceed the pupil diameter setting value set by the doctor. The central corneal thickness is 520μm, the refractive power is -8.00D, the optical zone is conventionally set to 6.5mm, and the estimated corneal cutting thickness is 135μm. Due to the large pupil diameter of this patient, the optical zone is automatically enlarged by 0.1mm. When PTA is less than 28%, it is further enlarged by 0.1mm until the optical zone diameter is 6.8mm. At this time, PTA=148 / 520=28.46%. When PTA is greater than 28%, the optical zone is reduced by 0.1mm and the optical zone is set to 6.7mm, which is the optimal optical zone diameter.

[0059] The pupil diameter of patient 2 who was to undergo surgery was relatively large, at 7.5mm, which was considered to exceed the pupil diameter cutoff value set by the doctor. The central corneal thickness was 520 microns, the refractive power was -8.00D, the optical zone was conventionally set to 6.5mm, and the estimated corneal cutting thickness was 135μm. According to the maximum allowable corneal cutting thickness = central corneal thickness × 0.28 = 520μm × 0.28 = 145.6μm, the optical zone was gradually increased by 0.1mm until the estimated corneal cutting thickness was greater than 145.6μm. When the optical zone was 6.8mm, the estimated corneal cutting thickness was 148μm, which was greater than 145.6μm. At this time, the optical zone was reduced by 0.1mm, and the optimal optical zone diameter was designed to be 6.7mm. The corneal cap thickness is 120 μm, and the residual stromal bed thickness is 520-120-145=255 μm. At this time, the optical zone diameter needs to be reduced to a residual basal bed thickness greater than 280 μm. When the optical zone is 6.0 mm, the corneal ablation thickness is expected to be 115 μm, and the residual stromal bed thickness is 520-120-115=285 μm. At this time, the optical zone diameter is the optimal value. This indicates that this patient needs to explain the risk of postoperative glare.

[0060] The central corneal thickness of patient 3 to be operated on was 520μm, the refractive power was -2.00D, the conventional setting of the optical zone was 6.5mm, and the corneal thickness was expected to be cut to 43μm. At this time, the lens was too thin, and the diameter of the optical zone was increased to 7.0mm. At this time, the corneal thickness was expected to be cut to 45μm, which was still less than 50μm. The base thickness of the lens was increased by 5μm (the corneal thickness was expected to be cut). At this time, the base thickness of the lens was greater than or equal to 50μm, and the surgical design was completed. At this time, the base thickness of the lens and the diameter of the optical zone were the optimal parameters.

[0061] Patient 4 who was to undergo surgery had a smaller pupil diameter of 5.5 mm, a central corneal thickness of 520 μm, a refractive power of -8.00 D, a conventional optical zone setting of 6.5 mm, and a central thickness of the cutting lens of 135 μm. According to the maximum allowable corneal cutting thickness = central corneal thickness × 0.28 = 520 μm × 0.28 = 145.6 μm, the residual stromal bed thickness is 520-120-135 = 265 μm. At this time, the optical zone diameter needs to be reduced to a residual stromal bed thickness greater than 280 μm. When the optical zone is 6.0 mm, the lens thickness is 115 μm, and the residual stromal bed thickness is 520-120-115 = 285 μm. At this time, the optical zone diameter is the optimal value.
